Flint Creek Valley Winter Gathering

Friday, December 12; 4-5:30pm
Philipsburg Opera House, Philipsburg (map)

Meet us in Philipsburg to celebrate the season and our conservation successes in the Flint Creek Valley. We’ll host drinks and appetizers at the Philipsburg Opera House from 4pm-5:30pm.

Tales from the Trails

Next Run: Monday, Jan 19th; 10am
North Hills, Missoula

Join us and our friends at Run Wild Missoula for Tales from the Trails, a new, seasonal trail running series that shares the story about your favorite Missoula-area trails. As we meander through these community open spaces, we’ll pause along the way to hear the story behind the land: how it came to be protected, what it means for public access, and why open spaces like this matter to Missoula. This series is open to Run Wild Missoula members only. Come run, listen, and connect with the places that make Missoula wild! Register and learn more.
